It seems there is still some pb with the G450 setup but not with my card. :( I have been really too busy at work to fix the problem, but I'll take a look at the code by the end of this week. Anyway it seems the vgamga4xx.c was not compiled into the kernel, because the Release 4 setup failed on my computer : Indeed : [VGAINFO.TXT:] main->snarf vga->snarf mga4xx->snarf mga4xx->snarf mga4xx: G450 rev 2 sequencer->enter on sequencer->leave on mga4xx: can't set mga type ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -> ~= echo 'type=mga' > /dev/vga failed.
